Chapter 600: Unleash Your Imagination

The changes in Liu Shiqi's expression were all seen by the young man not far away.

He couldn't help but sigh deeply, walking outside to light a cigarette against the wind.

Shaking his head helplessly, it seemed this was the difference in levels.

He hadn't even introduced Shang Yanxiong's identity just now, and Shang Yanxiong had only just sat down, yet he could already clearly feel Liu Shiqi's body language beginning to change. Sigh, what a pity for those small feet.

A woman of this caliber was not someone he could ever hope to have a taste of.

Truly, the dry die of thirst, while the wet drown in abundance.

"Why should I go up with you? Show some respect."

Liu Shiqi suddenly changed the subject. She narrowed her eyes, the subtle ambiguity on her face seemingly gone, replaced by the demeanor of a cold, aloof older sister. Gently swirling her red wine glass, she looked at Shang Yanxiong indifferently, her mind racing.

She was 28 years old this year; not too old, but not too young either.

Because she had become the manager of the Zhongguang Fund at a very young age, her insight surpassed that of her peers.

Whether it was outstanding young men, outstanding Middle-aged Men, or outstanding elders, she had seen plenty.

Naturally, she could see at a glance that Shang Yanxiong's status was far from ordinary. More importantly, she had caught a glimpse of a car driving past the entrance. It was not hard to guess that he must have arrived in it.

To have a long-term suite in a hotel like this, and to be able to park the car there...

...it was all self-evident.

"Since you don't want to go up right now, then forget it. This is the room card; believe me, you will need it."

Shang Yanxiong did not continue to dwell on this topic. After pushing a room card over, he said seriously, "Miss Liu Shiqi, the reason I asked you here is actually mainly to discuss the transfer of equity. Are you considering selling the shares of the Qianhe Group? Name your price; as long as it is within my means, I can satisfy you. Hmm, feel free to ask for as much as you like."

Feel free to ask for as much as I like?

The corners of Liu Shiqi's mouth curled up slightly, and she took a light sip of wine.

After a while, she parted her lips slightly, "If I am not mistaken, you must be the young master of some club, right? I have dealt with some club members before, and even the most outstanding young men among them seem unable to compare to you. I originally thought Zhang Jihan of the Songshang Club was quite outstanding, but his ability to maintain composure is far inferior to yours."

"People like them seem to have only cultivated their outward appearance; at most, they are just third-generation heirs."

"Oh... I think I understand something..."

"Let me guess, since you are interested in the shares of the Qianhe Group, you definitely don't just want to get your hands on this company. You are Shang Yanxiong of the Shanghai Americas Club, right? You want to use these shares to deal with Zheng Qian?"

Liu Shiqi's eyes narrowed.

Like a fox, she felt increasingly excited. She rested her hands on the table, leaned forward, and stared intently at Shang Yanxiong.

She was certain that her guess was not wrong; Liu Shiqi was never a foolish woman to begin with.

"That's right, you are very smart."

Shang Yanxiong pushed up his tortoiseshell glasses, his expression still showing no fluctuation. "From the moment I appeared here, I never intentionally hid my identity, and besides, I disdain to do so. Well, Miss Liu Shiqi, what is your answer?"

Liu Shiqi did not answer his question immediately.

She sat back in her chair and lit a hard-box Yebai, hiding her beautiful face in the smoke.

"Girls rarely smoke such strong cigarettes."

"You mean low-quality cigarettes, right?"

"No, I know a girl from Shenzhen who smokes 520s, which are also very cheap."

"Oh, the filter of a 520 is heart-shaped; it seems her heart is also that of a little princess."

The two of them chatted aimlessly like this, the content seemingly completely unrelated, yet Shang Yanxiong seemed to sense something. In fact, the moment Liu Shiqi lit that hard-box Yebai, he already knew her answer.

Shang Yanxiong's originally calm eyes seemed to ripple faintly.

It was just that no one noticed.

"So, you don't intend to sell the equity?" He looked up with a smile.

"That's right, there's no room for discussion on buying." Liu Shiqi waved her hand, took a deep drag of the cigarette, slowly blew the smoke in Shang Yanxiong's direction, and also started to smile. "I don't usually smoke this either, but, you know the saying, seeing the object reminds one of the person?"

"And actually, I don't quite understand. Now the entire equity of the Qianhe Group has been redistributed. Chen Weiqiang and I each have 15%, Manager Li Tao has 10%, and the remaining 60% is intended to be handed over to Jiang Yanran in the future."

"The Qianhe Group will be a very pure dock transportation company, and it will have nothing to do with the [Qianlu Group]."

Liu Shiqi did not shy away from this.

Since Shang Yanxiong could find her, it meant he had done his homework.

"I know, but isn't the so-called Qianlu Group not yet officially established? I have already seen the approval documents from the relevant authorities, and there are still many areas that need to be completed. Therefore, at present, it and the Qianhe Group are still deeply tied together."

"Therefore, the equity in your hands becomes especially important."

"Although it's not much, if used well, it might produce miraculous effects at some point in the future."

Shang Yanxiong likewise did not shy away from his own rhetoric.

He spoke eloquently to Liu Shiqi, "Since you know I come from the Americas Club, you should know that I can afford the money. Name your price, Miss Liu; even if it is an outrageous price, as long as it does not exceed my budget, I can accept it."

"10 billion? 20 billion? It doesn't matter, just ask, use your imagination."

Upon hearing this, Liu Shiqi admitted that her heart skipped a beat.

Her breathing became a little rapid.

Liu Shiqi was not a woman who was blinded by greed; otherwise, after sleeping with Zheng Qian that day, when he asked her what she wanted, she wouldn't have said nothing, and even drank the "milk"—that was all her own doing.

"Shang Yanxiong, do you know how big the cake will be when Zheng Qian unifies the domestic dock shipping market in the future? Even if I only have 15% of the shares in my hands, have you calculated how much money will be distributed annually in the future?"

Liu Shiqi said, staring intently into his eyes.

"I have roughly calculated it, and it is indeed very impressive. If it becomes reality, even I would be very tempted."

"But such a scenario will never come to pass. Zheng Qian is already struggling to move forward; how many docks in the country are refusing to let your ships dock? It is foreseeable that he will eventually be defeated completely."

"And when that time comes, the 15% in your hands will be a pile of waste paper."

Shang Yanxiong lowered his eyelids slightly, leaned back in his chair, and slowly stated all of this.

It seemed that in his narration, Zheng Qian had already been thoroughly defeated.

It was only a matter of time.

Liu Shiqi suddenly became curious: if Zheng Qian were really defeated by him, then... what would happen to those women? He had more than just one or two top-tier women around him; where would they end up in the end?
